Makunduchi Hotel Guide - Hotels with Pool in Makunduchi, Unguja South Region

"The room was immaculate and absolutely stunning. Staff from housekeeping to restaurants were both friendly and welcoming as well as always ready to help. "

"Very pleasant stay. Room was cleaned twice a day and fulfilled our expectation. Very nice area and extremely service minded personnel. Food had a high quality with a wide variation of menues every day. Be aware of the tide on that side of the island, some day you had to walk several hundred meters for having a bath. "

"Some travelers forget they are visiting a foreign country and overlook local conditions, policies, & environment. Many common complaints can be avoided by reading details planning ahead, and communicating clearly. I believe in forming my own experience —and I’m so glad I did. My experience was a 10,000/10. The staff and service were exceptional from start to finish. Everyone was professional, patient, and made me feel comfortable throughout my stay. Juma, the Front Office Manager, arranged my round-trip airport transfer with Emanuel who shared local history along the way. Juma clearly explained my package and handled a small misunderstanding on my end with patience and helpful solutions. Consolata, the receptionist, welcomed me warmly and made me feel at home immediately. I arrived early, and she personally showed me around the property while sharing its history, which I truly appreciated. Ramso, my butler, was outstanding—attentive, calm, and genuinely caring. When I had a room issue (my mistake), he went above and beyond to ensure my comfort, moving me to a room that exceeded expectations. I would absolutely request him again! Chef Mohammed delivered excellent meals from breakfast to dinner. The food was fresh, authentic, healthy, and flavorful, and his passion truly shows. Overall, I loved the scenery, privacy, cleanliness, safety, and peaceful atmosphere. Fruit & Spice is perfect for relaxation and exceptional service. I highly recommend this resort. — LissaKayy "

"It is with a heavy heart that I write this review. We so wanted it to be great, but unfortunately... it isn't. If you are looking to rent a room on a barely B&B basis, with a hostel vibe, then this is your place, I cannot fault it for that... however they are charging WAY too much for it. This is a $50 per night place MAXIMUM, and for that I guess it's great, but for $150 or more per night, which is what we paid, and I note for some reason at the moment its at over $300 per night, this is simply ludicrous. How do we know? After 5 nights there, willing ourselves to see past all the negatives and trying to be positive, we basically couldn't do it anymore. We then booked another hotel that was maybe $10 per night more than Ujamaa and left. The difference was night and day!! I realise, you can be reading this negative review amongst all the glowing 5 star reviews and think that I'm just some idiot, probably complains for the littlest of things, but that would be very far from the truth, and also, we did exactly the same with the negative reviews we read. You're so excited and can't wait to go, and with so many great reviews the negatives must be crackpots and you dismiss them. As I was writing this it would seem Expedia limits these reviews, I have more to say and to describe all the faults, so please check out other review sites to see the whole review."

"Our best experience ever, my wife and I had our honeymoon for a full week here before heading to greece. The safari, the sand dune, snorkling and star fish diving was the best experience by this resort. I highly reccomend 10/10. You wont refret it at all"
